Now for some more adjectives: I am well-rounded: honest,
intelligent, adventurous, loyal (possibly to a fault), empathetic,
discerning, respectful, a good communicator, affectionate,
romantic, family-oriented, practical, inventive, well-read,
goal-oriented & problem-solving, a lover of water, of travel,
of music, & of a good laugh!

Career: Up 'til September 2012, I was a goldsmith for a company
that manufactures custom-made jewellery. Now, I'm back @ the
University of Saskatchewan for to finish a bachelor's degree &
possibly a master's.

Books:
Yikes. Most of my reading is currently done online, or in
university textbooks. However, I love to read novels aloud when
someone likes to listen. (*wink! wink!*) The stories I most like to
read ...are about hope, triumph over tribulation, and are infused
with humour and visual flavour. Thus, J.R.R. Tolkien's epic saga,
The Silmarillion, is probably my favourite novel.

I couldn't live without music --Really. I've been a musician all my
life, and have recorded with local musicians on over ten studio
albums since 2005. I've got eclectic tastes: funk, R & B, jazz,
hard rock, folk, classical, or a fusion of any of those. I am a
drummer / percussionist, so the rhythm of a song usually connects
with me just as much as harmony & arrangements.

Food?
I can cook, but I'm always learning more. I have some awesome cooks
in my family, and I have done quite a bit of traveling &
experiencing different cultures, so I'm adventurous: I'll try
almost any food at least once.

TV:
I don't have much time to watch right now, but when I do, I'll get
caught up on seasons of Justified, Fringe, Dexter, Community, The
Walking Dead, & Game of Thrones. I like smart, funny, dramatic,
intense and sci-fi shows. (Reality TV isn't my thing.) More of my
favourites are / were 30 Rock, Arrested Development, Modern Family,
Seinfeld, 24, Alias, Firefly, Lost, Criminal Minds, Battlestar
Galactica, The Simpsons, The Three Stooges (especially the ones
with Curly), and The Flintstones.

Travel:
I have travelled by car throughout most of Canada & much of the
U.S.A. I've been to Israel, Mexico, Hawaii, Thailand, Burma,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Korea, Philippines, Jamaica, France, &
Switzerland. I love travel - especially warm vacations.

2. Music. I find it fascinating - as a language, as a teaching
tool, as a way to release stress or tap into emotions. I am a
musician, and have a very keen ear. Though I'm not very well versed
in music theory, I can find something to admire about all music
styles.

3. Philosophy: I have re-started my cosmological & theological
research (non-academic). It's a "massive" topic: having to do with
the origins of the universe and the meaning of life itself.

I spent time volunteering with churches and as a missionary after
high school, and it was most-rewarding. Since then, life has shown
me that sometimes asking the difficult questions may not always get
you the answers you expect.

My family culture & moral values are based mostly on
traditional Judeo-Christian values, though I would currently call
myself an agnostic in search of more concrete Truth. (That's a
story in itself. Ask me about it!)
